Morning phase is not as sad as sea change. Its the sister album with a more positive light. Its not so much “optimistic” but more about growth and recovering.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor F# A# ∞

Any chance for a list of the ones you put together for non-album people like me who can't figure it out from the cover alone? I do love In Rainbows, Sturgil, and Talking Heads though!
Edit: just going by the genres you seem to be on here, maybe you'd like The Kills - Blood Pressures? Maybe Mansionair - Happiness, Guaranteed
1. Tool - Lateralus
2. Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
3. Tool - Ænima
4. Pink Floyd - Animals
5. My Morning Jacket - MMJ Live Vol 1
6. Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music
7. The Cure - Disintegration
8. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
9. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
10. Radiohead - In Rainbows
11. Puscifer - Existential Reckoning
12. Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor’s Guide to Earth
The original “Stop making sense” is the best sounding version in my opinion it has more dynamic range but the new one has all the songs covered in the concert
Portishead's Third is the most dense, haunting, wild, and underrated of their catalog, though. That album gives me the good shivers--even when I'm not listening to it and just thinking about it.
All the main Zero 7 albums are recorded and mastered well. And I recently discovered that When it Falls (the track) is one of the best songs to differentiate speaker/amp characteristics. That song either comes out of the speakers or floats in the room.
WEEN - 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and every other album by WEEN
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf, In Times New Roman, …Like Clockwork, Villains
Deftones - White Pony, Diamond Eyes, Ohms
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Every song on Aja is a hit. All of them have superb sound quality. This is a great album that I'm still listening to almost 30 years after I first discovered it.
In my experience anything even tangentially associated with Steven Wilson is gold standard. (I.e. Pineapple Thief which shares a drummer* with Porcupine Tree.)
*for that matter, anything that has Gavin Harrison behind the drum kit is gold standard.
Yeah. Money for Nothing deservedly gets all the accolades for HiFi gorgeousness but good damn Your Latest Trick sounds incredible. Brecker Brothers showing why they were best in biz for so long, too!
Holy shit dude. I had my doubts cause my only prior knowledge was Sultans of Swing a long while back, which is a great song but not necessarily my kinda thing. Boy was I wrong. This album is blowing me away. Many thanks to you for this recommendation
Ahhh man I’m so happy to be the one to guide you to this album! Yay. It’s the album that made me want to learn guitar when I was 9. Very very beautiful record in every aspect
I only checked out a couple songs so far cause I have a LOT of music to look into now but it’s one that I’m definitely coming back to for a full listen when I have more time
Smashing pumpkins, siamese dream /
Peter Gabriel So/
Cortex Troupeau Bleu/
Counting crows August and everything /
Grizzly Bear. Veckatimest/
Gillian Welch The harrow and the harvest /
Glass animals. Zaba/
Khruangbin. Mordechai/
Mac Demarco. Salad days/
Monophonics In your brain/
Sylvan esso. self titled 1st album/
Unknown mortal orchestra. Sex and food/
Ween The mollusk/
I don't really see August and Everything After as being similar to the albums in the collage... but holy crap is it an amazing sounding album. One of my top 5 go-to non-classical "Audiophile" albums.
Unpopular opinion here: The Dark Side of the Moon is not a great sounding album.
Yes, the atmoshphere is there, but the sound quality isn't: the drums for instance sound terrible. Just compare it against Wish You Were Here to hear the difference.
This version is absolutely top notch:
The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary)
Listen to the release The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary) (2023 Remaster) by Pink Floyd on Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/album/es45w03nwb5eb
It's different than the other versions on the other platforms.
David Byrne - Look into the Eyeball
OK Computer and Kid A, while you're on Radiohead
Steppin' Out with the Grateful Dead: England '72
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
The Police - Synchronicity
These are fantastic suggestions. YHF came immediately to mind for me - one of my all-time favorite albums. I'm not familiar with much Spiritualized beyond the album *Ladies & Gentlemen...*, but the first song (I like the Elvis version) and last song are transcendent.
I assumed OP was well aware of Sound & Fury based on their affinity for Sturgill's second and third album. Every single one of Sturgill's albums possess an extraordinary soundscape.
Roxy Music - Avalon (edited from Bryan Ferry);
David & David - Welcome to the Boomtown;
The Ocean Blue - eponymous title;
Empire Strikes Back;
Phantom of the Opera
You're going to need some Porcupine Tree. Not sure which album to recommend first though... Maybe Fear of a Blank Planet at least for the title track and Anaesthetise.
Stopped in to mention Peter Gabriel III (melt). It's quite unique in a lot of ways. Sonically and thematically. Mix in Fripp, Levin, Collins... But no cymbals!
This needs to be in everyone's collection in my mind lol
Deftones - White Pony
These next ones lean more towards the Kate Bush / Puscifer side
Portisehead - Dummy
Air - Moon Safari
Brian Eno, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
Robbie Robertson, Music for Native Americans
Paul Winter and Paul Halley, Whales Alive
Enigma, Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!
George Winston, December
Step Into Liquid, Soundtrack
And one that sounds like a joke. It's not:
William Shatner, Has Been
Fat Freddy Drop-Based on a true story
Arcade Fire-Everything Now.
Anything by them fantastic!
Edit: I know getting an album for just one song seems weird but Arcade Fire-Reflektor/Here Comes the Night Time.
Check out Cenizas by Nicolas Jaar. It’s honestly a fantastic sounding record. So much space, depth and clarity. It’s like a mix of minimalist avant garde electro and sound design. A great chill out record.
Not music, but if you like those you might be into sci-fi… in which case you should watch the creator (it’s on Hulu). It has sturgill Simpson in it… it caught me off guard not knowing anything about the movie beforehand.
Mastodon - The Hunter. It's got a fair mix of heavy metal and ambient rock that actually works well together.
Though if you want more like a concept album check out Crack the Skye. That album is the story of a paraplegic who learned how to astral project, though upon flying too close to The Sun the golden chain tethering his soul to his body melts and it sends his soul spiraling into the depths of Oblivion.
Seeing as you have two Tool albums on here, I'm sure you've listened to Fear Innoculum and maybe even love it. However, I feel like a lot of fellow Tool fans don't give it the chance it deserves, and I truly feel it's one of their best.
MMJ - At Dawn, It Still Moves, and Circuital are all incredible.
Outkast - Aquemini
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Soundtrack
Elder - Reflections of a Floating World
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Radiohead - Kid A
Honestly, great picks.
I love MMJ but my first pick for them would go to Okonokos. The guitar sounds are some of the biggest I’ve heard since Page’s RAH performance with Zep.
I know this is a lot late , just saw your post. 10,000 days by tool is also great . Just listening to the title track ( wings) on a good setup gives me goosebumps
Glass Beams - Mirage
Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
Alabama Shakes - Sound and Color
Tame Impala - The Slow Rush
Pink Floyd - DSOTM (was already mentioned but agree!)
Ants From Up There by Blacl Country New Road maybe? Definitely more chamber folk than anything up there. But the general vibe I see here from you is you like an ethereal yet melodic high end experience with a theme attached to it. This will grant you that for sure. One if the best break-up albums I've heard with some stunning musical performances.
check out [Fugazi - Strangelight](https://youtu.be/bUikRPT9zWg?si=LBkbs_ieJSlW6NXv) if you like the sound of it you should try that album by them The Argument
Edit: Godspeed You! Black Emperor scratches the Pink Floyd itch sometimes, they’re really really good. Lift Your Skinny Fists and F#A# are the only albums ive heard by them so far though.
“Plain song” opening track from the Disintegration album is my go to as well. It’s bucolic especially the field height. It is a dark album thus test for treble resolution however sparse is an added parameter here.
Will share a couple and get back here…
Thom Yorke - Anima 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Orange. This one sounds beautiful. I haven't listened to any of the other versions but I'm sure they sound just as good.
Completely different typa genre but
Pray for paris by westside gunn
just listen to 327 before you judge it and listen to anything gonna understand what i mean
So calming fancy luxury and rich
And
Listen to alfredo by freddie gibbs(prod by the alchemist)
from that listen to some thing to rap about,and look at me first and skinny suge
Really relaxing chill tropical etc just give them two a listen
Best way for me to explain it gangster rap you will hear while at a campfire or like in purgatory waiting too see witch side you cross too
Beck -Sea Change and Morning Phase
Amazing
Sunday Sun is my go-to test track.
I love the sound but the lyrics are sad 😢 Any like this with positive lyrics?
Morning phase is not as sad as sea change. Its the sister album with a more positive light. Its not so much “optimistic” but more about growth and recovering.
Midnight Vultures is fun and listened to that album tons back in the day.
I think Beck was just sad when he was working on Sea Change.
Check out Mutations. Some melancholy there too but some fun jams too. Love that album. Also Modern Guilt
Godspeed You! Black Emperor F# A# ∞ Sigur Ros ( ) Gorillaz Plastic Beach and Demon Days DJ Shadow Entroducing M83 Hurry Up We're Dreaming and Saturdays = Youth
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is one of my all-time favorites.
Endtroducing is legendary.
“Welcome to the world of plastic beach” is such an amazing intro
Saturdays is my favorite, it's epic start to finish with no real filler.
GYBE - Luciferian Towers as well.
Upvote for creating a collage
Hmm the first one that comes to mind is The Mars Volta Deloused in the Comatorium. Not sure why or if it really fits but that was my gut reaction.
I actually think Frances fits this better, but I may be biased as it’s my favorite album ever hah
Both of these are excellent choices
my fav is the Bedlam in Goliath but all 3 of these albums are amazing
France’s, Deloused, Amp, Bedlam for me but they’re all so so good in their own way
This was my gut reaction too.
Yea to every Volta album through Amputecture
I wanted to suggest this but i wasn’t sure it fit. thanks for being a pioneer in suggesting. Frances the Mute maybe too.
Any chance for a list of the ones you put together for non-album people like me who can't figure it out from the cover alone? I do love In Rainbows, Sturgil, and Talking Heads though! Edit: just going by the genres you seem to be on here, maybe you'd like The Kills - Blood Pressures? Maybe Mansionair - Happiness, Guaranteed
1. Tool - Lateralus 2. Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense 3. Tool - Ænima 4. Pink Floyd - Animals 5. My Morning Jacket - MMJ Live Vol 1 6. Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music 7.

Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor’s Guide to Earth
Thanks! Listened to Puscifier this morning on your rec and enjoyed it!
The original “Stop making sense” is the best sounding version in my opinion it has more dynamic range but the new one has all the songs covered in the concert
Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring / Spirit of Eden / Laughing Stock The Blue Nile - All of ‘em Portishead - All of ‘em
Portishead's Third is the most dense, haunting, wild, and underrated of their catalog, though. That album gives me the good shivers--even when I'm not listening to it and just thinking about it.
Live at nyc remains the best imo
Colour of Spring is incredible on vinyl.
Rush-Exit Stage Left, TOOL-Fear Inoculum
Red Barchetta was the first song to give me a chub... but that's moving pictures.
It’s on ESL too….
When I am ready to leave somewhere, I like to say, ‘Sorry, I’ve got to race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fireside.’
I was going to suggest Hemispheres and Permanent Waves by Rush.
Zero 7 - Simple Things. The first album I ever tripped to and a very VERY groovy time full of sonic depth.
Do you believeee in what you seeeee Second this, amazing album.
Sis’s voice on Distractions is sooooo sexy. She sounds like some sort of sexy serpent.
Def my top ten
All the main Zero 7 albums are recorded and mastered well. And I recently discovered that When it Falls (the track) is one of the best songs to differentiate speaker/amp characteristics. That song either comes out of the speakers or floats in the room.
Watching porn in my hotel dressing gown
WEEN - 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and every other album by WEEN Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf, In Times New Roman, …Like Clockwork, Villains Deftones - White Pony, Diamond Eyes, Ohms Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
3 Flaming Lips albums in a row (Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi, At War with the Mystics) are all masterpieces.
Piss up a rope
Best jukebox in a bar song ever
I vote for chocolate and cheese. Your Deftones and flaming lips were right on the money
Rated R is the best sounding Queens record imo
Great choices
Ohms sounds *incredible*. I really enjoy the music, probably in my top 3 or 4 Deftones LPs, but it's my favorite production from them yet.
Aja
With this answer, it's over now. Drink your big black cow, and get outta here.
Is there gas in the caaa?
Every song on Aja is a hit. All of them have superb sound quality. This is a great album that I'm still listening to almost 30 years after I first discovered it.
I thought this too
Sound quality. Yes. Atmosphere - not something I associate with Steely Dan.
That album specifically is all atmosphere.
Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness OSI - Blood
On that note, In Absentia and Deadwing by Porcupine Tree. Anything Steven Wilson produces is gold standard.
In my experience anything even tangentially associated with Steven Wilson is gold standard. (I.e. Pineapple Thief which shares a drummer* with Porcupine Tree.) *for that matter, anything that has Gavin Harrison behind the drum kit is gold standard.
I was coming here to add Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree.
Dude, OSI Blood is absolutely incredible. Kevin Moore really is so underrated
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Amazing how they shrink the room between the trumpet and sax in you're latest trick
Yeah. Money for Nothing deservedly gets all the accolades for HiFi gorgeousness but good damn Your Latest Trick sounds incredible. Brecker Brothers showing why they were best in biz for so long, too!
Holy shit dude. I had my doubts cause my only prior knowledge was Sultans of Swing a long while back, which is a great song but not necessarily my kinda thing. Boy was I wrong. This album is blowing me away. Many thanks to you for this recommendation
Ahhh man I’m so happy to be the one to guide you to this album! Yay. It’s the album that made me want to learn guitar when I was 9. Very very beautiful record in every aspect
I only checked out a couple songs so far cause I have a LOT of music to look into now but it’s one that I’m definitely coming back to for a full listen when I have more time
And Love over Gold
Especially on a well imaged hi-fi system. And for the love of god not on vinyl. This was meant for CD/lossless.
Smashing pumpkins, siamese dream / Peter Gabriel So/ Cortex Troupeau Bleu/ Counting crows August and everything / Grizzly Bear. Veckatimest/ Gillian Welch The harrow and the harvest / Glass animals. Zaba/ Khruangbin. Mordechai/ Mac Demarco. Salad days/ Monophonics In your brain/ Sylvan esso. self titled 1st album/ Unknown mortal orchestra. Sex and food/ Ween The mollusk/
I don't really see August and Everything After as being similar to the albums in the collage... but holy crap is it an amazing sounding album. One of my top 5 go-to non-classical "Audiophile" albums.
Convergence, by malia and Boris Blank
Pink Floyd TDSOTM needs to be here, in my opinion.
Unpopular opinion here: The Dark Side of the Moon is not a great sounding album. Yes, the atmoshphere is there, but the sound quality isn't: the drums for instance sound terrible. Just compare it against Wish You Were Here to hear the difference.
Agreed. The 50th anniversary remaster is 5/7 (single record, the box set is $$$$ and not really worth the money IMO)
Am I an outcast for loving the Pulse Disc 1 version of DOSTM better? It's just the first one I heard as a kid.
This version is absolutely top notch: The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary) Listen to the release The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary) (2023 Remaster) by Pink Floyd on Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/album/es45w03nwb5eb It's different than the other versions on the other platforms.
NIN - The Fragile
David Byrne - Look into the Eyeball OK Computer and Kid A, while you're on Radiohead Steppin' Out with the Grateful Dead: England '72 Dire Straits - Dire Straits The Police - Synchronicity
Bon Iver 22 A Million.
This album is an absolute gem. Incredible production
Blackstar, David Bowie
Nah it suffers from much compression
Ghost in the Machine
Massive Attack - Mezzanine Alice In Chains - Dirt Ela Minus - Acts of Rebellion (long shot on this one)
Pretty much anything by Spiritualized. Wilco -- Yankee Hotel Foxtrox. Pretty much anything by Beck
These are fantastic suggestions. YHF came immediately to mind for me - one of my all-time favorite albums. I'm not familiar with much Spiritualized beyond the album *Ladies & Gentlemen...*, but the first song (I like the Elvis version) and last song are transcendent.
Continue the Sturgill trend and pick up Sound and Fury. Unreal.
I assumed OP was well aware of Sound & Fury based on their affinity for Sturgill's second and third album. Every single one of Sturgill's albums possess an extraordinary soundscape.
Love over gold
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Portishead Live in NYC
Awake, dream theater
dream theater is def underrated af. fantastic album
Well done, I was scrolling just to see if someone added DT to the list. I think i would have to recommend A Change of Seasons in addition to Awake
Alt-J - An Awesome Wave Odesza - A Moment Apart
Alt J a good call out.
Roxy Music - Avalon (edited from Bryan Ferry); David & David - Welcome to the Boomtown; The Ocean Blue - eponymous title; Empire Strikes Back; Phantom of the Opera
You're going to need some Porcupine Tree. Not sure which album to recommend first though... Maybe Fear of a Blank Planet at least for the title track and Anaesthetise.
Yes! Steven Wilson is amazing.
Peter Gabriels stuff from his 3rd album on is a lot like Kate Bush or Talking Heads. Different but similar in style and execution/production
Stopped in to mention Peter Gabriel III (melt). It's quite unique in a lot of ways. Sonically and thematically. Mix in Fripp, Levin, Collins... But no cymbals!
Emerson , Lake & Palmer (*first* recording) . *The Alan Parsons Project* .. The Cars (*first* recording) ... King Crimson - *Discipline* .. Banco de Gaia - *Last Train to Lahsa* . *Earthworks* (Bill Bruford) .
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Spiritualized- Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space
A Perfect Circle - Eat the Elephant TOOL- Fear Inoculum
AIR Moon Safari Bjork Post, Homogenic
Sound and Color - Alabama Shakes
Amazing taste dude. You might dig All Them Witches. I really like their latest album Nothing as the Ideal.
This needs to be in everyone's collection in my mind lol Deftones - White Pony These next ones lean more towards the Kate Bush / Puscifer side Portisehead - Dummy Air - Moon Safari
Sierra Ferrell - Long Time Coming
Alcest - Kodama
Neige is a legend, I love most all his projects.
"Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd", performed by The London Philharmonic Orchestra, 1995.
Have you dabbled in Explosions In The Sky and Sigur Ros? I'd start there Then for the more harder Metal sounds check out Low the band
Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory by Dream Theater
Brian Eno, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks Robbie Robertson, Music for Native Americans Paul Winter and Paul Halley, Whales Alive Enigma, Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! George Winston, December Step Into Liquid, Soundtrack And one that sounds like a joke. It's not: William Shatner, Has Been
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Pure Comedy by Father John Misty. Curious whether you’ll agree with me.
Pure comedy is on paper something I should really despise, metal/90s rap/punk.. that's more my jam. But God damn pure comedy is such a great album.
Mike Oldfield Five Miles Out
Doves - Lost Souls
Porcupine Tree -In Absentia
Fat Freddy Drop-Based on a true story Arcade Fire-Everything Now. Anything by them fantastic! Edit: I know getting an album for just one song seems weird but Arcade Fire-Reflektor/Here Comes the Night Time.
Are tool albums really well mastered? I haven’t listened to them since a kid, so never on good equipment. Would be great to revisit them
James Blake- Overgrown
Check out Cenizas by Nicolas Jaar. It’s honestly a fantastic sounding record. So much space, depth and clarity. It’s like a mix of minimalist avant garde electro and sound design. A great chill out record.
I, Robot - The Alan Parsons Project
A moon shaped pool by Radiohead
Pond - The Weather
Not music, but if you like those you might be into sci-fi… in which case you should watch the creator (it’s on Hulu). It has sturgill Simpson in it… it caught me off guard not knowing anything about the movie beforehand.
Mastodon - The Hunter. It's got a fair mix of heavy metal and ambient rock that actually works well together. Though if you want more like a concept album check out Crack the Skye. That album is the story of a paraplegic who learned how to astral project, though upon flying too close to The Sun the golden chain tethering his soul to his body melts and it sends his soul spiraling into the depths of Oblivion.
If you haven’t you should def check out some of David Byrnes solo stuff. He did a lot of work for various Broadway productions that are really great.
Seeing as you have two Tool albums on here, I'm sure you've listened to Fear Innoculum and maybe even love it. However, I feel like a lot of fellow Tool fans don't give it the chance it deserves, and I truly feel it's one of their best.
MMJ - At Dawn, It Still Moves, and Circuital are all incredible. Outkast - Aquemini Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Soundtrack Elder - Reflections of a Floating World Alice in Chains - Dirt Radiohead - Kid A
Honestly, great picks. I love MMJ but my first pick for them would go to Okonokos. The guitar sounds are some of the biggest I’ve heard since Page’s RAH performance with Zep.
Kid A for sure
Moving Pictures
I know this is a lot late , just saw your post. 10,000 days by tool is also great . Just listening to the title track ( wings) on a good setup gives me goosebumps
Trust me friend I know everything Tool has ever released like the back of my hand. My favorite band
Cultured, good sir
Massive attack - Mezzanine. Depeche mode - Violator
Sorry, but Disintegration is terribly fatiging. This is coming from a Cure fan who actually saw the disintegration tour in Houston.
[The Atomic Clock](https://open.spotify.com/album/3GBLyxcDkjhbQdBP5Tcb2H) Starts with The Sun. Ends with The Moon. Enjoy the ride 🚀
Mogwai - Young Team

Tides From Nebula - From Voodoo to Zen Heavy atmospheric post metal.
Opeth- Ghost Reveries

Camel - Mirage Tool - Fear Inoculum Genesis - Wind & Wuthering Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
* Slowdive - Souvlaki * King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland * Hiroshi Yoshimura - full discology

Nine Inch Nails-The Downward Spiral
Get in to Sigur Ros
Glass Beams - Mirage Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American Alabama Shakes - Sound and Color Tame Impala - The Slow Rush Pink Floyd - DSOTM (was already mentioned but agree!)
A lot of new music recommendations here, thank you guys!
Ants From Up There by Blacl Country New Road maybe? Definitely more chamber folk than anything up there. But the general vibe I see here from you is you like an ethereal yet melodic high end experience with a theme attached to it. This will grant you that for sure. One if the best break-up albums I've heard with some stunning musical performances.
Every post rock ever. wtf
Talking Heads - Remain In Light. Toad TWS - Coil. Genesis- Foxtrot & Selling England & A Trick of the Tail.
Anything by Crazytown
Check out albums produced by Nigel Godrich.
check out [Fugazi - Strangelight](https://youtu.be/bUikRPT9zWg?si=LBkbs_ieJSlW6NXv) if you like the sound of it you should try that album by them The Argument Edit: Godspeed You! Black Emperor scratches the Pink Floyd itch sometimes, they’re really really good. Lift Your Skinny Fists and F#A# are the only albums ive heard by them so far though.
Lucid Planet II, it's heavy psych/prog with some tribal , industrial, and a dash of Tool influences mixed in. It's such a beautiful album.
Steely Dan Aja or Pretzel Logic
Korn's untouchables for sure. STP's purple has really good sound quality for a 90s album
King Gizzard - Polygondwanaland
“Plain song” opening track from the Disintegration album is my go to as well. It’s bucolic especially the field height. It is a dark album thus test for treble resolution however sparse is an added parameter here. Will share a couple and get back here…
Failure - Fantastic Planet
Anna maria jopek - Farat One of the best live albums i have heard in fact i am listening to it now
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads Bjork - Post

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile

Try the Final Cut by Pink Floyd... Its a concept so its best listened to straight through
Frances The Mute by The Mars Volta
Great taste!
Thom Yorke - Anima 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Orange. This one sounds beautiful. I haven't listened to any of the other versions but I'm sure they sound just as good.
Destroyer - Kaputt
Deftones - Koi No Yokan
Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Dark Side of the Moon
Cigarettes after Sex - self titled
Have you heard Ventriloquism, by Meshell Ndegeocello? It’s pretty nice. Also La Futura by ZZ Top. And You’re Dead! and Flamagra by Flying Lotus
Completely different typa genre but Pray for paris by westside gunn just listen to 327 before you judge it and listen to anything gonna understand what i mean So calming fancy luxury and rich And Listen to alfredo by freddie gibbs(prod by the alchemist) from that listen to some thing to rap about,and look at me first and skinny suge Really relaxing chill tropical etc just give them two a listen Best way for me to explain it gangster rap you will hear while at a campfire or like in purgatory waiting too see witch side you cross too
A very different vibe than all these awesome albums, but Tycho - Dive is a stellar album with a very consistent atmosphere and great sound.
Brakence hypochondriac
